Makin' a list, checkin' it a million times...

I am going to go to training for 7 weeks...living with two other people in a dorm room setting (fun, fun, fun! not!) I've been making a list of creature comforts I need to have with me. Since I am driving so I can have a car there, I feel like I can bring anything I want to have with me, as long as I have the space in the room. I've already started "staging" this stuff in our guest room.

My "college-dorm needs" advisors, daughter, Casey and her friend, Abbi, helped me work on my list of things last night. Can you think of anything else I need to bring??

Bedding
Memory Foam mattress (spoiled, I know...)
sheets (my comfy flannel ones--it IS a twin bed, afterall...)
pillows (my own, thank you!)

robe

Laundry
